I'm Mel, an Aussie in my mid-twenties just trying to do the best I can, with what I have, exactly where I'm at.
Here I share my experience of life with chronic illness and disability, to encourage others, and raise awareness.
Even though the doctors told me I would spend my life in bed, I'm pursuing healing, trying to be as healthy as possible, and finding ways to improve & adapt to my condition in my day-to-day life functioning in my surroundings.
I'm learning to see God's grace in hard places and heal from trauma
I have been told I have a genetic connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). As connective tissue is everywhere in the body, EDS affects many systems in my body, some secondary conditions I also talk about are CCI & AAI, POTS, Scoliosis, MCAS, TMJ issues, MALS, and Endometriosis.
I used to have a feeding tube, but now I don't :D

What stomach issues did you have and did they improve when the neck was more stabilized?
Could you possibly do a video explaining why you have chosen NOT to have any surgery to fixate and stabilize that atlas and axis once and for all? In the beginning of my journey I was so against surgery too, but I have been forced to live in survival mode for 3+ years now and I want to go back to life. I'm finally open to the fusion or fixation surgery bc I can't live like this anymore, tho I am still terrified. I watch Centeno Schultz clinic vids on the topic and the regen med doctor there is very knowledgeable and he said there is literally only a FEW surgeons IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW! that he would trust doing such a precious procedure. I am in the process of trying to get in with them and of course I will have to travel but ya, you r so helpful and knowledgeable and I would love to hear your opinion and thought process regarding the surgery
Have lots of those issues but what makes me crazy is bending causes pain more than eating even though can’t eat much and am under weight plan to have median Artuate Ligament Syndrome surgery with other surgeries at same time in about a month lots of testing first. Don’t digest too and since vax I escaped symptoms my pots got worse. Iv fluids daily. Also full fast and my blood pressure rises when bend causing weird feeling and yea chest pressure also had 9 CPNerve blocks having another before surgery. Also had issues with bowel movement I now mad the hard decision to get an illiostomy which does help the BM issue which was horrible
Wowowo❤🎉 did you have a CCI diagnosis as well?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think she did
💜
How did she do this
Merry Christmas!! 🎄 I'm grateful for God sending his only son to save us, born in a manger, gentle and lowly ❤
This is so good! ❤
I really appreciate you naming these misconceptions. I relate a lot to getting advice that may be useful for some, but often left me feeling more isolated as these approaches and interventions didn’t change my overall health and function. It’s so important to do right by our bodies, but it’s also important to acknowledge and emotionally support the legitimate barriers we’re experiencing. I’m so happy for all of your improvements and health and the milestones you’ve met like even going to get your haircut. ❤
Yes totally! Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! I'm cheering for you 🎉
well, just in case you said something, next time try use vocalcord. What is the point to shoot video when you cant speak normaly for some reason.
Magnesium, Vitamin C and fish oil has made a huge difference for me.. I really feel horrible if I miss a dose 💕👍🏽
Please help me ....i am suicidal bedbound with traumatic cci and aai... .help me Mel ...
You and I both. The doctor just gives me vitamins for the fatigue, but no amount of sleep or anything fixes this.
God Nless you,Took 4 yrs to finallt get a proper diagnosis of Lupus! Its wreck havoc on my body those 4 years when it could have been treated,your a strong woman stay positive ❤
What concerns me about the DNRS programme is it taps into the Type A personality, because of the amount of work that needs to be done each and every day. That it can become a stress in itself to get all the 5 pillars done every day and if we don't manage that, we feel like a failure. Because as Type A's we are perfectionists and over work ourselves. There are some days where all 5 pillars can't be achieved or we simply don't want to do them, especially women with our hormonal cycles. We will naturally be more motivated some weeks of the month, others we simply want a break and rest from it all. How do these people on the DNRS commit and do their practice without fail every single day? I certainly can't.
yes I agree totally. I did do it everyday without fail for 4 years and I don't think that was the best
9 9
I think it's really important to address the fact that sometimes you can't heal because the underlying cause hasn't actually been addressed, and simply trying to re-wire the brain, cannot heal every situation. In the case of, for example, tethered cord, you are still having spinal cord trauma unless you address the actual physical caudal traction. I had a very fatty filum terminale and it had caused a lot of injury to my spinal cord. I actually have a syrinx in my neck from the spinal cord traction. And if I had not actually had that traction released, no other forms of mental training would have gotten me out of that situation. Now, I still have ways to go with my healing, and of course hope that brain retraining and somatic excercises will help my healing mindset, but I know that in these circumstances it takes other types of treatment and therapies to help us get there. I still have PTSD and trauma to work through and I think there will always be that underlying fear of health declining again, despite treatment. I definitely think it's really important to address the trauma, and not to ignore it. I do think we should allow ourselves to recognize our human emotions and learn to overcome them. Healing is such a roller-coaster.
Thats very sweet. Keep moving, that's a blessing
Thank you so much!
You go girl! I am so much better too 🎉🎉😄🙏🙏👊🌠 Prayers for our continued healing and for everyone who's going thru similar situation to get the help they need 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks so much! Wooo! I'm so glad you're so much better too! I hope that everyone gets the help they need as well
Whish it could work for me too 🥲 Thank you for sharing stories of hope !
Hi, I don't know your situation but I do hope that you are able to find things that help increase your quality of life, keep hanging in there :)
I have Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and Trigeminal Neuralgia. Do you all know of anyone with both or either incurable and very debilitating disease?
Hey, I'm so sorry to hear this :( I do know of someone named Colleen Defrancesco she is @beefbodyhealing on Instagram :)
I really appreciate your video about Prolotherapy. I really wanted to hear more about how your body reacted to prolotherapy DURING the treatment and whether it is painful or can make muscle and nerve pain flare up or muscle spasms, etc. It was nice to hear that they test under the skin before following through with the therapy.
I'll have more details videos coming in time :)
@iammellbell Thank you! I subscribed, so I hope to hear more about it. And also videos on how animal-based diet helped you with your GI condition, because I have been on animal-based for 3 years and am feeling like I've only become more intollerant to foods outside of my diet. (I suspected SIBO or Gastroparesis since those conditions can also be caused by EDS, but I haven't been tested for the GI problems)
@@SamanthaWoodward-o3g I'm sorry for what you're going through. I have a video titled "I got my feeding tube removed" that has more information about animal based :)
and now you are so beautiful so happy for you . . . .
@@one.of.a.kind. thank you :)
Hello Mel
My daughter 14 y old having the exact same thing happening to her. I pray she doesn’t get misdiagnosed she’s got an appointment for cardiologist finally after 1 year of This. She’s got a referral to neurologist which is taking forever I hope this gets treated properly. I originally thought chronic fatigue but she may have both. Pots and chronic fatigue syndrome. My poor baby isn’t herself anymore. What teen wants to miss out on life?
Oh wow, this hurts my heart so much! also I can relate so much as well. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was my first diagnosis and then the rest came after. It's such a hard slog with waiting lists and appointments. I can imagine this is so hard for you as her mum. Sending love to you both and hope you're both hanging in there
LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! You two are incredible!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm a zebra and was just diagnosed this year. I decided to create a UA-cam channel to document my journey and help others. Sending you many positive vibes and strength. I know it's far from easy. 🩷🦓
Thank you for sharing your story, I’ve been going through this too for 2 years and videos like yours are what allowed me to find some answers a lot quicker than what you had to go through before any clarity. It’s really inspiring to see how you’ve fought through such a hard situation.
I am so glad my videos have helped you get clarity! Thank you for your encouragement :) I hope you're hanging in there :)
Hi Mel. I am curious if you could share your resource for the psychologist you worked with? I haven’t found one whom specializes in mind body conditions. Thank you.
Hey, I wouldn't necessarily say that they are specifically mind-body
@ right yes thank you. Did you have a coach on your journey? I am just needing some guidance for recovery.
Mel I am curious if you found working with a practitioner along with nervous system work was helpful? Thank you
What sort of practitioner, like a coach or like a medical pratitioner? :)
@ thank you. Either one! I was hoping to find a medical practitioner whom understands this stuff.
Omg if i reported every doctor, nurse, specialist that has treated me appallingly, made me feel ridiculous and patronised me, there wouldn't be any left. I'm just a crazy menopausal woman, hypochondriac, anxious and depressed, that's what they labelled me as. I literally have PTSD from the treatment of these medical professionals! When I had the tilt table test, they sprayed some kind of medication they give for angina in my mouth, 5 seconds later i was passing out, blood pressure was non existent. I heard the guy doing the test say POTS but never been diagnosed or even called back for results! I also look into medication interactions. I don't trust doctors anymore. They told me i was stressed and depressed, gave me antidepressants, never took me seriously ever since. Now im suffering with Sjögren's syndrome and fighting to be listened to and taken seriously! Ive had to go private for specialist tests because my doctors won't order any testing, they think its my mental health! When i get the results I'm going all out and calling out every bloody doctor that wouldn't listen to me and treated me like sh#t . Everyone has got the same story unfortunately.
I'm so sorry you've experienced this, it is something I can relate to and have heard so many others say, I hope things will change
😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
15:49 my health has been rapidly declining with the strangest symptoms and nothing seems to add up. I mentioned EDS to my doctor a couple days ago and she completely shrugged it off like I was insane 😭😭😭
I'm so sorry you had this experience, unfortunately many others are experiencing it as well
@@iammellbell the more I'm looking into it the more I see that it is heartbreaking 😭
6:14 it cost money to see a geneticist?
Not always but when you're dealing with rare conditions often the only ones knowledgeable about them are private in which case they are very expensive
Wonderful job, Mel. I'm really glad you're doing well. How about your symptoms, for example POTS etc. are they mostly gone. Did the neck brace help the CCI and AAI resolve somewhat, without requiring surgery?
Thanks so much :) POTS is improving and so is CCI and AAI - still on the road of improvements. I don't think I will need surgery :) The neck brace helped me to build strength in the meantime but now I've been weaning off it
Well done 💪🏼
THank you so much :)
I’m so happy for you Mel, God bless you!
Thanks so much!
did you manage to fix your neck? if not, did you try visiting doctor Hutcheson?
I'm in Australia so it's hard to get to the U.S. to see Dr Hutcheson, otherwise I would! Animal based nutrition and prolotherapy has heled my neck improve in stability :)
@@iammellbell Thank you :) fyi: he also offers online consultation in case you ever need it. I'm still struggling. Good luck!
Oh Mel, I'm so happy for you! Your healing journey is progressing so well! I'm sending happy, positive vibes your way!
Thank you so much! sending positive vibes back to you :)
This is amazing. I can definitely relate. It's so painful just to sit upright. What has you feeling so much better?
Thank you :) I will have more detailed videos coming next year but animal-based nutrition, nervous system regulation and prolotherapy has helped :)
@iammellbell I've been wanting to do Prolotherapy but its so expensive. Have you looked into a Soundwave adjustment of your upper cervical spine. I got one in September and it helped me a ton.
@@aliciaparker7238 I haven't hear of this but it sounds really interesting!
Love to see it! Keep healing! :)
Thank you so much!
Hi Mell, im so happy to hear how well you are doing. I am wondering what you think helped your healing most? Were you ever diagnosed with syringomyelia or chiari?
Thanks so much, animal-based nutrition and nervous system regulation has been the biggest help :) Chiari yes, a few years ago :)
❤
Well done mell
Thank you so much!
Can you please share what you did to recover? Like doctors or programs? Thank you.
That will come in more details soon - sorry for the delay. The thigns that have helped the most are animal based nutrition, prolotherapy, endometriosis excission surgery, LDN and ketitofen (medication), trauma and emotional work :)
@ thank you. I’ve tried most medications and have reacted to them so that’s why I’m trying to figure out someone to work with or how to recover. Thank you 😊
Got both, its sucks
I hope you're hanging in there :(
Thank you for sharing your experience!

amazing video thank you super helpful, I agree they make you feel its the ONLY way. you are on point with the gaps in the program

Hey there! Sweet Video! Need some guidance on my purchase... 1) Is this book age-appropriate for children (it's for a girl, who's turning 13 in barely a week from now)? 2) Are the Paperback & Hardcover versions the same w.r.t the content and pics? (I hear the Paperback version has an extra chapter added to it. Has it been added to the Hardcover version as well?) 3) Which one makes for a better gift for this girl who Loves Slytherin and absolutely *LOVES* DRACO MALFOY? I'm planning to get this for her 13th Birthday. Do tell! Thank You! 💚
Hey, I'm not able to offer advice on wether or not it would be suitable, it does reference mental health and substance addiction, have google about the trigger warnings and age recommendations. As for the paperback and hardback, I'm not sure because I have only seen the hardback, so you might have to go into a bookstore to see, sorry!

Hope you well Mel! Do you develop scoliosis with your unstable neck? My daughter did
Yeah I did unfortunately. I am sorry that your daughter did as well :(
I did! I have! There is a scientific pubmed article about a boy who had this and developed severe kyphoscoliosis and he had his CCI fused by surgery and then to the doctors surprise even- his severe kyphoscoliosis seriously greatly improved within 3 months post-op simply from fixing the CCI. the conclusion of the paper was that it is related and also that it can reverse itself greatly after the source of the problem is fixed
